Foreword

This document (EN 10163-2:2004) has been prepared by Technical Committee ECISS/TC 10 “Structural steels – Grades and qualities”, the secretariat of which is held by NEN.

This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by June 2005, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by June 2005.

This document supersedes EN 10163-2:1991, Delivery requirements for surface condition of hot-rolled steel

plates, wide flats and sections – Part 2: Plates and wide flats.

This series of standards consists of the following parts, under the general title Delivery requirements for surface condition of hot-rolled steel plates, wide flats and sections:

Part 1: General requirements

Part 3: Sections.

During the 5 year review of EN 10163-2:1991 the members of ECISS/TC 10 agreed to revise EN 10163-2:1991. It was asked to bring the text in line with ECISS DOCS N 809 “Iron and steel standardization – Model for a product standard”. Also the range of dimensions from EN 10025-2, which is increased from 250 mm to 400 mm is incorporated in this new edition.

According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.

1 Scope

In addition to EN 10163-1 this document specifies the delivery requirements which apply to the surface condition of hot-rolled plates and surface condition of the faces of wide flats with thicknesses of 3 mm ≤ t ≤ 400 mm.

NOTE For plates with a thickness > 400 mm special agreements should be made at the time of the order.

2 Normative references

The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

EN 10029, Hot rolled steel plates 3 mm thick or above - Tolerances on dimensions, shape and mass.

EN 10051, Continuously hot-rolled uncoated plate, sheet and strip of non-alloy and alloy steels - Tolerances on dimensions and shape.

EN 10163-1:2004, Delivery requirements for surface condition of hot-rolled steel plates, wide flats and sections – Part 1: General requirements.

3 Terms and definitions

For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.

3.1 imperfections for flat products surface discontinuities other than cracks, shell and seams with a depth and/or area equal to or less than a specified limiting value

3.2 defects for flat products surface discontinuities with a depth and/or area greater than a specified limiting value and all cracks, shell and seams irrespective of their depth or/and area

4 General

In addition to the conditions stated in EN 10163-1, it applies that if the purchaser needs to be sure that all discontinuities visible to the naked eye have been identified, assessed and where necessary repaired before delivery, products should be ordered descaled (see Clause 4 of EN 10163-1:2004).

5 Classification

The surface requirements and repair conditions are subdivided into 2 classes and each class is further subdivided into 3 subclasses:

Class A The surface condition shall comply with the requirements of 6.2.1 and 6.3.2.2. The remaining thickness of the affected area under discontinuities and of repaired ground areas may be less than the minimum thickness as specified in the appropriate tolerance standard.

Class B The surface condition shall comply with the requirements of 6.2.2 and 6.3.2.3. The remaining thickness of the affected area under discontinuities and of repaired ground areas shall not be less than the minimum thickness as specified in the appropriate tolerance standard.

Subclass 1 Repair by chipping and/or grinding followed by welding is permitted in compliance with 6.3.3.2.

Subclass 2 Repair by welding is only permitted if agreed at the time of the order and under agreed conditions (see 6.3.3.3).

Subclass 3 Repair by welding is not allowed.

The required class and subclass is specified in the appropriate material or product standard. If this is not the case the class and subclass shall be class A and subclass 1 unless otherwise specified at the time of the order.

6 Requirements

6.1 Depth and affected area of discontinuities

The requirements of EN 10163-1 apply.

6.2 Repair requirements

6.2.1 Class A

6.2.1.1 Imperfections

6.2.1.1.1 Discontinuities other than cracks, shell and seams (see 6.2.1.2.3) not exceeding the limits of Table 1 are regarded as being inherent of the manufacturing process and are permissible irrespective of their number.

A surface area with discontinuities within the limits of Table 1 but with a remaining thickness under the discontinuities less than the minimum thickness as specified in EN 10029 and EN 10051 is permissible with a maximum of 15 % of the inspected surface.

6.2.1.1.2 Discontinuities other than cracks, shell and seams (see 6.2.1.2.3) with a depth exceeding the limits of Table 1 but not exceeding the limits of Table 2 and of which the sum of the affected areas does not exceed 5 % of the inspected surface, may be left unrepaired.

In this case is a surface area with a remaining thickness under the discontinuities less than the minimum thickness as specified in EN 10029 and EN 10051 permissible with a maximum of 2 % of the inspected surface.

6.2.1.2.1 Discontinuities with a depth exceeding the limits of Table 1 but not exceeding the limits of Table 2, but with an affected surface area of more than 5 % of the inspected surface shall be repaired.

6.2.1.2.2 Discontinuities with a depth exceeding the limits of Table 2 shall be repaired irrespective of their number.

6.2.1.2.3 Discontinuities such as cracks, shell and seams which are in general deep and sharp, and therefore impair the use of the products, shall always be repaired irrespective of their depth and number.

6.2.2 Class B

The requirements of 6.2.1.1 and 6.2.1.2 apply except that the remaining thickness under the discontinuities and repair ground areas shall not be less than the minimum permissible thickness as specified in the appropriate European Standards specifying tolerances.
